it looks as if we can associate any language in the world exactly the same way,
we do not need Latin for this.
Maybe not any language (English is a mongrel language and borrows endings from several other languages, including French), but it can certainly work for languages that use a regular set of syllables and regular endings to modify the word. Many languages (particularly the older ones) are constructed that way.

Example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. chdalchdy - likely must be chd alchdy (ad rosidum + the next word collutum) (preposition ad + accusative)
But even in this case, ad is very rare in my deciphering
Okay, moving away from individual letters for a moment. Look carefully at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. from a more global perspective...
- Did you notice that 9 of the 10 word-tokens on the first line end in EVA-y? It would be very unusual for Latin or any natural language to do that. But let's explain it, for the moment, by saying it might be a list. It's possible.
- But... did you notice that 5 of the 11 lines end in -ris/-tis/-cis and yet those common Latin abbreviations do not occur midline? That's downright weird for Latin and the explanation that maybe midline words use a different abbreviation (or spelled-out letters) doesn't work because then either 1) there are not enough shapes to make an alphabet or 2) the words midline would be longer... and they're not.
- I've already mentioned that 4o (if it means pro-) occurs much too often in relation to 4 (per-). In Latin, per- is frequent and somewhat more common than pro- and yet in the VMS, if you interpret the shapes this way, per- (a very common abbreviation in Latin) happens only rarely.
- On the following page (f35r) 62 of the 88 word-tokens end in Eva-y or variations of -ain. How can one account for that degree of rigidity and repetition, and how would you translate that page?
